Turning off revision tracking so vacuum never needs to be run

I've followed the threads of needing to run vacuum nightly, and even
got an answer to a slow updating database regarding needing to vacuum. But I
haven't see the question asked:

is it possible to completely turn off the revision tracking feature so that
vacuum does not need to be run at all?

Thanks for any pointers,
Mike

No.

Of course, if you never update or delete any rows, you don't need VACUUM
... but I suspect that's not what you had in mind.
